What a great question! This is actually something I’ve been thinking about recently. I agree with @ashira that history is offensive and we can’t shy away from talking about something just because it makes some people mad or uncomfortable. Yes, it’s very, very important that we present the truth in love, but that doesn’t mean that we soften it down so everybody will be happy. (But that wasn’t really your question. 😛)
While I love history, I haven’t written much his-fic, so I don’t feel like I really have the authority to answer you question. I have ideas of how I am going to present “outdated or offensive” views, but I’ve never actually put them into practice.
